Update: See [new diary http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/1/7/1587/90770] for the recap.
I work in downtown DC. After work today, Thursday January 6th, and again on tomorrow, Friday, January 7th, I am going to go to the nearest street vendor and buy some flowers. Then, I'm going to deliver them personally to Senator Boxer's DC office along with a note (text below). If anyone who doesn't live in DC or California would like to 'sign' this note I will be happy to add your name.
Please email me at thankboxer AT myusername DOT com with the name you wish me to add (I recommend your real first and last name and swear on my mother's grave I won't use it for any nefarious purposes) and your city and state.
I think it's important to show our thanks and I wanted to do this for myself. I thought I would offer the opportunity to people who can't physically be here.

Dear Senator Boxer:
The rampant voter suppression activities and multiple violations of election law in Ohio are of grave concern to everyone who cares about preserving American democracy. A great many Americans today are afraid for the direction of our country, and afraid for the integrity of our government and its democratic institutions. Yet actions like yours in signing the challenge to Ohio's electors give us hope, because it is only in shining light on these threats to our democracy that we can ever hope to defeat them.
There are so few leaders left who will speak for us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sincerely,
(Your name here!)
